He doesn't specify what kind of Xeon it is (there are three completely different CPUs under the Xeon brand name: P3 Xeon, P4 Xeon, and Core 2 Xeon), but I think it's a P4 Xeon.

Netburst sucked in so many ways, and this is one of them.

I presume it's this one:
Xeon cpuinfo :

processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 23
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5405 @ 2.00GHz


I've given up trying to remember what "E5405" might mean, but that feature list suggests a relatively modern microarchitecture.


E5405 is the 45 nm Core 2 Quad Xeon.
